Hot on the heels of the XC90 and S90, Volvo has taken the wraps off the third and final addition to its family of flagship models.

The Swedish automaker is synonymous with wagons and the V90 is no exception, keeping Volvo’s 60-plus year legacy of iconic wagons alive. Given it’s ties, it’s not surprising the V90 bears a strong family resemblance to the XC90 and S90, but with a side profile and rear end no doubt inspired by the comely Volvo Concept Estate.

Inside, the V90 is familiar. The overall layout, controls and infotainment system – which also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – are shared between the three models. Naturally, the V90 is also available with Volvo’s impressive suite of active safety technology, along with a Bowers & Wilkins sound system and upscale trim pieces such as knurled controls and unique wood trim.

So far, Volvo has confirmed the V90 will be available with the 410-horsepower T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but don’t be surprised to see the base 2.0-litre turbo-four in a T5 model, pumping out 240 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Volvo’s turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-litre T6 engine is also a possibility, pushing out 316 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque.
